Just give me a nice thread to work.

Whenever I see this:

Well green 7bit, I can relate. But on the right hand side there are some "slightly" different objects! You of all people should be able to distinguish keycaps from corny nude 70s chicks.

Or are you trying to tell us you want that cheesy header back?

The fake vegetation clone job is the bit I object to.

Right and not enough nudity. If we're gonna have that then with proper T&A!

That's nice but that's NOT what I mean and you know it. You want me to post examples...

Not bad actually. I like this theme.

I shot a ton of ergo pro pics. That keyboard is quite photogenic.

You mean like this?
(how times change)
No, I think this would be a safer header:

Each one of the three would be great, if given the same quality treatment as these gentlemen:

Well to use a British expression, "I couldn't be arsed."
OK, since we have blue and red, how about yellow?

Nah, needs to be one header: one photo. Got links for the source photos so we can try coming up with something too?

The problem is that they're all too vertical to crop a decent size without (..as you always bitch about..) being "too cropped".

Great stuff! Nice resolutions to work with. Let's see who can make them header worthy…
Probably not me. I didn't have much luck with my own attempts at
Univac photos before.

I like this one with the overlay a lot mr_a500.

by mr_a500
Which one? Original or seebarted version?
Posted: 08 Nov 2015, 16:35
by seebart
The first top one.
Actually, the second one works better in contrast against our logo. Might need a bit more contrast.

How about a quick crop like this?

"no go", unless you take care of all that noise @@

No way. Too blurry. We used to have more fuzzy headers in rotation, but I ruthlessly executed them. And I'll do it again!

these are vintage photos, they will always have some noise and blur.
here's with less noise:
actually I like to see the old photos with the noise/artifacts, as it gives all the vintage looking which rules

I've got to say I don't like the repetition. I'd much prefer an extension of the solid background colour instead. That can work great, when done well. And I don't know how to do it well myself. Know it when I see it though!

I like the sepia version. I normally hate repetition too, but I can't think of another way to fill that space. I did have this originally, but deleted it because I liked the closeup better.

Blank is just too plain.

Works beautifully for the red and blue ones though. Maybe with a subtle texture. But no embedded secondary photography.

That's one hell of a large blank area then.
